The Scottish economy entered 2026 with little evidence of a meaningful recovery in underlying activity. The latest Scottish Business Monitor (SBM) results point to a continued divergence between weak real performance and more resilient nominal outcomes, as firms navigate a difficult environment shaped by persistent cost pressures and subdued demand.
